For your example of generations of birth and such - it is perfectly legitimate to put it down to chance. I agree with you in that it is chance that a certain person is born. If I was arguing that chance does not exist you certainly would have a strong argument. However there are two options - there is chance, and there is the option that it was created/designed. In the case of two people meeting, sperm, etc it is obvious and proven it is chance, that's the argument with less assumptions and it makes more sense than the meeting/birth being planned by a 'god'.
You're right in saying the universe could be completely by chance. My argument is simply that it's more logical and rational to believe it is created by an intelligent designer of some sort.
As for the first part, I'm saying its not been explained YET, but as of March there have been several important breakthroughs.
